Thema 8.32, quite a few that weren't crashed

The engine wasn't really Ferrari, it was Ducati built and had a different crank. Though as a guess the Ferrari service intervals tho the Thema turbo had a 30k km service interval.

The inlets are sort after for putting the real Ferrari engine in to other wierd and wonderfuls. There is one going in to a Lancia Fulvia!

EDIT : Also they weren't very quick, Thema turbos with a few cheap mods were as quick if not quicker.

yes, lots of engine for 215 BHP - i'd guess the Skoda that i have now would be quicker.

(obvs a lot changed in 30 years so not a fair comparison, but still...)

Yeah turbo charged twin cam is a great engine. But the engine was only the Mondial/Dino engine and 215bhp in a lightweight two seater is different to a bigger heavier executive car with lots of heavy extras.

Either the the head of the Ferrari family or Agnelli had one as there every day car.
